The good run of form enjoyed by Narrow Creek Stud bred thoroughbreds last season has continued into the new year.
Not only is the Narrow Creek bred champion Isivunguvungu a leading fancy for Saturday’s Gr1 Al Quoz Sprint, but the likes of Buffalo Storm Cody, Queen Of Love, Golden Destiny, and Tomyris just a few of the many Narrow Creek Stud bred winners of the 2024-2025 South African season.

Narrow Creek will be offering colts by Buffalo Bill Cody, Canford Cliffs, Hawwaam, Malmoos, Rafeef as well as fillies by Rafeef at the upcoming National Yearling Sale.
John Everett picked four potential standouts in his draft:
Lot 140: Cheap Perfume f Rafeef -Isabelle
Redoute’s Choice’s Gr1 Computaform Sprint winning son has had another great season, with his flagbearers including such graded stakes winners as Chasing Happiness, Mon Petit Cherie and Outlaw King.
Isabelle, the dam of classy galloper Joker Man, is a twice winning Western Winter half-sister to a pair of Gr1 winning two-year-olds, both of whom now stand at stud, in the form of Eden Roc and Sandringham Summit. She is a very neat, racy filly out of a half sister to Sandringham Summit
Lot 177: Blue Hotel c Hawwaam -Lotus
Champion Hawwaam has made a promising start with his first runners and ranks as one of the leading first season sires this season. Lotus is a twice winning daughter of Flower Alley and her granddam is champion Rat Burana. Smart athletic type.
Going to grow into a big horse. This son of Hawwaam out of full sister to Maharanee and half sister to Marigold Hotel is a must see.
Lot 196: Eastwood c Buffalo Bill Cody -Miss Magical
By the very promising Buffalo Bill Cody (whose progeny include the Narrow Creek bred smart galloper Buffalo Storm Cody), this colt’s dam is a three time winning Silvano half-sister to graded stakes winners Magical Wonderland and Magico.
The family of high-class Australian group winners September Run, Pittsburgh Flyer and Steel City. Smart, correct type.
Lot 313: Wagon Wheel c Malmoos -The Gardner Girl
Triple Crown winner Malmoos has already made his mark with his first yearlings making up to R1 100 000 this season.
The Gardner Girl, whose son Cold Shine showed smart form at two, is a winning own-sister to Gr1 SA Fillies Classic winner Takingthepeace. This son of exciting freshman sire Malmoos is all class.
This draft can be found in Block C at the TBA Complex in Germiston.
